INT. THE CUBE – NIGHT

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhk3gu2ECy

The credits of Pacific Rim roll up the screen. The last bombastic note fades, replaced by the soft hum of evening stillness.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwJKUkcDRh

Jason sighs with deep contentment, arms behind his head.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetTZDhdYId

JASON

“God, that movie makes me wanna punch a skyscraper. In a good way.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHH47oczyr

A (curious)

“Why would you want to punch a skyscraper?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4VWfLqMkQ

JASON

“Dramatic flair. Y’know, prove I can.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBN6HQU89b

K (from the ceiling, monotone)

“You can’t.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7h77eOMil

JASON (mock offended)

“How dare you doubt my delusions.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXoaGwo29V

The three start cleaning up their trash lazily—popcorn crumbs, drink containers, one lonely sock (Jason’s, somehow). Then, slowly, they settle into their usual “night mode.” Jason flops back on the bed with a long, theatrical groan. A climbs in next to him, already holding a digital reader, flicking through another book.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRLbrXvQq1

K silently lowers himself from the ceiling by his arms—tail coiled neatly—and then climbs back up, upside-down, where he reads from his own stash of weird, thick horror novels.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gQpmYmo47

Jason watches him for a bit, pointing lazily.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYcCubH7TZ

JASON

“Hey, question. What’s it like reading upside-down? Doesn’t the blood rush to your head?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tHS0qxsbE

K (flat)

“No blood. No brain. No problem.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSsnKbQFbZ

A (thoughtful)

“But you do have coolant circulation systems. Wouldn’t that affect balance perception?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteiCWDXEJM

K

“My system is modular. You’re overthinking it.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPdadq38vL

JASON

“You say that like you didn’t once read a 900-page horror trilogy in two hours and then give us a lecture on dismemberment techniques.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwfbvxQ3iW

K

“That was for educational purposes.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLKazST4Hb

A

“You drew diagrams.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2dq7bWvCN

JASON

“They were labeled in Latin, bro.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55iDNFtiyI

K (shrugging upside-down)

“Dead languages for dead things. Fitting.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvAoL07AXW

Jason groans, rubbing his face.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxETH30if5p

JASON

“How did I end up with a serial killer bat and a boy scout with wings?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eftHWJecI

A (smiling slightly)

“You brought us home.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiOFlpbTqe

K

“Technically, we forced our way in.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBBKgcbAcv

JASON

“Yeah, and now you’re sleeping in my bed and hanging off my ceiling. My life’s a sitcom made by masochists.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMpe4R4OtP

They fall into a moment of quiet, not awkward, just comfortable. The hum of electronics, city lights through the window, the occasional creak of the building—like an old man settling his joints.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMQRsL9LkG

Jason turns slightly to A, blinking at the soft glow of the reader screen.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIqvj29jNt

JASON

“What are you even reading this time?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhajUsSD4vb

A

“It’s a sci-fi novel. About an artificial intelligence that falls in love with a pilot who doesn’t know he’s being watched by the ship’s system.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVdLoyPjBp

K (snorts)

“Creepy.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WMDylUm3Z

A (defensive)

“It’s romantic.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaAcBOpGHp

JASON

“It’s creepy and romantic. Like 90% of old human literature.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkTjej8z6k

K (mockingly poetic)

“Oh, Romeo, install thy firmware into my drive.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcamCDTM6Q

Jason nearly chokes on his laughter.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHNIBudTXq

JASON

“Kill me.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfRbq8PZlo

K

“Maybe later.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrRyYrpjvP

A (smiling faintly)

“You two are terrible.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW33pnmA62

JASON

“And yet you’re here.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rhIXH0OYP

A

“…I don’t know why, but it feels like home.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0iZ0WHap7

There’s a pause after that. A softer one.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoikwwPDPWn

Jason gives him a sideways glance. A isn’t looking at him, just still flicking through the pages.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGJLrI8djY

JASON (murmurs)

“…Yeah. Same.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFiCiksJ7e

Above, K doesn’t say anything, but his tail, swaying gently before, now curls inward slightly. Like it's listening.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQ43WPULz

JASON (suddenly)

“Hey, do those tails of yours ever tangle when you’re fighting or something?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yhDObTg3R

K

“We don’t wrap around each other like tentacle spaghetti, if that’s what you’re asking.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi08qxqSrZp

A

“They’re reinforced with flexibility protocols. We can move them independently. Sometimes they act on instinct.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1OLtiMy4o

JASON

“Like just now?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T3doD1Lg1

A

“What?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIYn1GkiAc

JASON

“Something’s poking my side.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZie6UHjZ6F

There’s a slight pause. A blinks, then slowly turns his head.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFLTiv847o

A (realizing)

“…Oh. Um. That’s my tail.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsameYrL5bo

JASON (alarmed)

“Wait wha—”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUzxUoTXjG

SHNK.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYerLVITSp7

Jason suddenly sits up with a very sharp, very sudden yelp.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLywYPhHR8

JASON

“OW!! MY KIDNEY!”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpkAdIPbky

A’s tail, black and sleek, is retracted immediately, but not before it clearly stabbed Jason just slightly in the waist. It’s not serious, but it’s definitely rude.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYv5Cjktgf

A (horrified)

“I—I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to—I was focusing on the story—I didn’t think it would—!”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CMxNakUmI

JASON (groaning)

“You shanked me with your tail, A! I trusted you! I let you on the bed!”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ779c0RKD9a

K (still upside-down, calmly flipping page)

“Ah yes, intimacy injuries. Classic.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafaFLUncFr

A (panicking slightly)

“Are you leaking? Should I get a medkit? Oh no—”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLtzcHD5Kt

JASON

“No, it’s—ugh, it’s a scratch. Just get me an ice pack or something. And maybe a stuffed animal.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5nAQ7pOlV

K (amused)

“Baby wants his blankie too?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ZnDsSP8e

JASON (flops back onto bed)

“Baby wants peace.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0g5ngusf2

A jumps up to grab the medkit. Jason sighs again, long-suffering. The cable tail sways behind A, now nervously stiff.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptW30R4fDa

JASON (grumbling)

“Worst. Roommates. Ever.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSipVvoxhX

K

“You love us.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIp1n6ly4x

JASON

“I tolerate you like caffeine withdrawal.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh7uoeRTDY

The night grows quieter again… but the laughter lingers.
